Central can’t complete softball sweep
PELLA Two classes of Central College softball seniors were recognized Sunday and both left disappointed as the Dutch stumbled to a 6-2 loss to Buena Vista University and failed to sweep the teams’ three-game series.
Central defeated the Beavers Thursday at Pella 9-5 and 5-1.
Central’s 2020 class, which had its season come to an abrupt and unceremonious end last March due to the global pandemic, was saluted prior to the game while this year’s seniors completed their regular season and were honored afterwards. What happened in between turned on a missed opportunity in the fifth inning followed by a letdown in the sixth.
Central softball defense sparkles in sweep
PELLA The difference was defense as the Central College softball team overcame a sputtering offensive start and swept Buena Vista University 9-5 and 4-1 Thursday.
The Dutch (17-10 overall, 15-8 American Rivers) not only played errorless ball but dazzled defensively at times. Held scoreless in the first four innings of the opener, Central jumped on a pair of Buena Vista errors to roll up six runs on just two hits in the fifth inning and added three runs in the sixth before holding off a late BV surge.
“Our defense has been pretty solid,” coach George Wares said.
